Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your son's history.

As his last episode started with fever, it may be a viral infection also. And at this age, it is "normal" to have 5-6 viral cough-colds in a year. So if every time his symptoms start with fever (especially if fever is high), I would say he is having recurrent viral infections.

However, if he develops recurrent cough & cold without fever, with weather changes, with exposure to cold/humid atmosphere, allergy may be possible.

Levolin can be used in both - childhood asthma as well as viral wheeze.

Hope this will solve your query.

Wish your son the best of the health.

Regards.
